The highest court in the land
Is a basketball court
In the Rocky Mountains
Where Moses and God decide
The days’ most pressing questions
Such as whether it’s permissible
To throw fruits and vegetables
At Nazis, at their rallies,
Oh yes, says God, we got this one wrong
Back in the 30s
Of course it’s self-defense per se —
Not to mention political speech
As long as the fruit is sufficiently soft,
and rotten,
The fruit must be soft
And likewise the vegetables
Both, preferably, tossed
From passing bicycles
